-LRB- CNN -RRB- -- A former NFL player and his mother have been indicted in a scheme to steal more than $ 690,000 by fraudulently obtaining five home equity loans in six days , according to the New Jersey Attorney General 's Office .

Irving Fryar , 51 , and his mother , Allene McGhee , 72 , were charged with second-degree conspiracy and theft by deception in New Jersey Superior Court Wednesday .

The indictment alleges that Fryar schemed with McGhee to obtain five home equity loans totaling more than $ 690,000 between December 16 and 21 , 2009 , using McGhee 's Willingboro home as collateral for all of the loans . The pair allegedly deceived five banks by acquiring the loans within six days and purposefully failing to disclose the existence of any other loans .

The indictment further charges that McGhee 's loan applications falsely claimed that she earned thousands of dollars a month as an event coordinator for her son 's church , New Jerusalem House of God in Burlington County . Fryar himself allegedly received or spent more than $ 200,000 of the fraudulently obtained loan proceeds , the attorney general 's office said .

Fryar and McGhee made only a few payments on four of the loans , and those banks eventually wrote the loans off as losses , authorities said .

`` This is not a case in which Mr. Fryar and his mother simply omitted or misstated information on loan applications , '' said acting Attorney General John Hoffman . `` This indictment alleges that they engaged in an elaborate criminal scheme that was designed to defraud these banks of hundreds of thousands of dollars . ''

Neither Fryar nor McGhee responded to CNN 's requests for comment . It is unclear whether either has hired an attorney .

A court date has not yet been set , according to the attorney general 's office .

Between 1984 and 2000 , Fryar played for four NFL teams : the New England Patriots , the Miami Dolphins , the Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Redskins . He is the head football coach at Robbinsville High School in Robbinsville , New Jersey .
